Hi!
I've found that there is a cult following as far as mail agents and editors are concerned. A guy who uses vi rearely uses emacs and vice versa also a guy who uses mutt rarely uses pine or any other mail agent.
I would like to discuss about mail agent here (I use vi and I love it ;)
I use pine and it suffices most of my needs.
Has anyone used both pine and mutt extensively?
I use mutt. I grabbed Suresh R.'s .muttrc from http://www.hserus.net and use that.
What in your opinon is more powerful and user friendly? when I enter mutt the inital UI is not inviting and I'm forced to press the q key :)
Customize mutt :). Make it user friendly. The CLI isn't newbie friendly either :)
I've read that mutt relies on .rc file editing. I'm planning to learn mutt but I just don't want to be disappointed if I figure out that there ain't much difference between pine and mutt.
Depends on how ou like it. I can personally use anything that works on Linux/BSD. Am editor/MUA/religion agnostic.
Not programming language agnostic though :)
